No Crust Racing

No roll racing videos, power cruise, drags, circuit, traffic light racing, hard parking, nothing... This thread does not deliver.

Artifical lighting and flash always make it look 10x worse. Car looks fully legit to me. Even down to the fact your intake snorkel foam surround is already perishing 0_0 Nissan got it wrong on that material lol I struggle with this car because I would want to drive it all the time to enjoy its freshness, but not ever drive it to preserve its freshness... So I would do as you have done and have two

Bought another car recenrtly, from NSW, and thought I'd better actually clear this question up. Vicroads has no time limit at all on forcing you to move the rego into Victoria so long as it still has current valid rego in another state and you can prove ownership. So says Vicroads about 15mins ago 14 days is a "guideline" they tell me.

Intake/catch can setup intergration looks nice and neat.

Well f**k, I thought you were still working on it. Don't mind me, I'll just be over here with my stock bottom end wasting more money on dailies and doing nothing to my race car.

Why? Benny's car actually runs?

Without cam gears and on a good flowing head it will have cost you some "boost" response, as in how high and how early a boost gauge reads, but that doesn't mean it's lost you on road response. You may well find it similar up to say 60-90km/h but beyond that the difference will be stark. As above the head is just flowing out everythhing the turbos can throw at it. so it will be making as much power as the turbos can make as fast as they can allow it to be made. If you want to improve turbo response, as in get them spinning faster sooner, you want good manifolds and pods, cam gears, and good intake piping.You're chasing 5-8% though realistically. My car had the cast N1 manifolds which I found good, a nicely divided y pipe, which is proven to help, and any dash setup with decent boost should be on pods, we picked up 14rwkw by switching to big pods alone at similar power levels to where you are now. Don't beleive all the BS about the stock airbox being fine, at this power it's a restriction end of story. That was with -9s which are a touch bigger and slower, but have higher compressor flow.

You're confusing manifold pressure with actual turbine flow. All "boost" tells you, on your guage, is what pressure is in the manifold above atmospheric. It doesn't tell you how much lb/ft per min the turbo is actually flowing or how hard it's working to get there, thats' what compressor maps are for. This is why EFRs like turbine wheel speed sensors as they are a bit touchy with over speeding. A setup measuring 20psi on -7s with big cams will have the turbos working MUCH harder to maintain that 20psi in the manifold as the cams are flowing all that air out much faster than a car with stock cams which can keep manifold pressure up easily as the head can't flow it out. A good sign the turbos are well and truely overwoorked is big boost taper in the upper RPM, turbos simply cannot keep up so they are effectively maxed out, pushing more hot air. If your turbos are in a safer range they will be able to maintain boost to redline, they are not being out flowed by everhthing else. Which is why people who get hung up on how much "boost" a car is running to make a given power are idiots, because wuthout knowing what turbo is on the car and what flow potential the setup has, it actually means SFA.

Here's an old example from 2006 lol

Real quick, complete with sparks from the wheel well. As an early 20s NFI home mechanic, bricks were shat lol Part of why I am so appreciated of SAU and did my own tutorials for it etc, the info I gained here allowed me to be a less shit mechanic.

Reminds me of the time my mate and I both thought the other had done up the front passenger calipers bolts when we'd had them off t paint them on my first 33.... until it came off at 60 and jammed the wheel to a sudden stop....

The egine, box, and rear diff will all comfortably handle 360rwkw. Turbos won't like it though and as Piggaz said, the front diff may not be happy if you are pushing the car often, definitely avoid 4wd donuts. The rest of it will be quite happy there, with the exception of cooling as the twins, being pushed hard, will be quite hot so you would want to keep a close eye on intake temps and EGTs just for safety. Will be fine for the street unless you Fast and Furious everywhere, but you would want to limit consecutive hotlaps at the track (though with the current ambients you will get away with it for a while). Enjoy

Might be the best -7 result seen here? The head will play a big part and will also be why the boost tapers off up high, that's a sure sign the turbos are not able to keep up wit hthe head flow. More than enough for you for now, don't kill yourself, here or over there

Get cam gears before tune. Trust us.

I told you, you can sell the twins and do a cheap GTX single easily enough using used parts. 330 on -7s will be zippy, but not scary. Especially after your ride in Paul's car. I had 380 and more torque than you will make and it felt like it needed another 100kw to be honest. You have all the other bits to throw a cheap single on and make 400+ easily enough.

On E85? No more than 340-350rwkw, but as mentioned I would not expect turbos to last. That's more -9 territory. 330rwkw is about where I'd aim as a max on ethanol, the engine and head will want to make more but those -7s wont be loving life.

I joined in the mid 00s, and I'm still here 0_0

We're agreed then

lol, big difference between living on a property vs living on a farm. Farmers farm things, animals, crops etc. I just happen to live on a chunk of land that is fenced. Certainly more work than a house block though. Enjoy the festival.

Not really that sad, they are just "tools" to get a job done. I have 2 chainsaws, not because I love chainsaws or I'm anti trees or want to cut everything down, but because I need 2 chainsaws to do my job of collecting firewood efficiently. You can argue that I should not be cutting up fallen dead trees because insects and critters could live in there etc etc, but the bottom line is, it's my property and I'm allowed to so it's my choice. He has sheep, foxes eat his lambs at an alarming rate, so he removes those foxes from his property. His property, his choice. My comment about his reaction was just a laugh about two different cultures meeting, I wasn't raised on the land so my exposure to rural living is very different to his. Not right or wrong, just different.

He's actually a geological engineer for a mining outfit, very smart and very friendly and helpful. He just happens to have been raised in a farming community where "pests" are shot. Maybe go for slightly less broad strokes with that brush of yours

Finish... lol that's a good one.

Oh man, the neighbour has enough guns for everyone. His face when I said I owned zero guns and had no interest in getting any was very obviously one of "but... what do you mean?!" whilst trying to be polite lol

Well I sold my GTR and other house at good times I think, now I live on 12 acres over looking the valley

You can all thank me for changing the tone of this thread into something more enjoyable and constructive.
